Come, Thou everlasting Spirit, Bring to ev'ry thankful mind All the Saviour's dying merit, All His suff'rings for mankind; True Recorder of His passion, Now the living faith impart; Now reveal His great salvation Unto ev'ry faithful heart.
Come, Thou Witness of His dying; Come, Remembrancer Divine; Let us feel Thy pow'r applying Christ to ev'ry soul and mine; Let us groan Thine inward groaning, Look on Him we pierced, and grieve; All partake the grace atoning— All the sprinkled blood receive.
Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth: I in Him, and He in me! And my empty soul He filleth, Here and thro' eternity. Such the joyous song of morning, Such the banquet song of ev'n, Thus I wait for His returning, Singing all the way to heav'n.
